This photo released Monday, Oct. 3, 2016 by the website of Fath al-Sham, an anti-government militant group, shows a militant from the Fath al-Sham group shooting during clashes with Syrian army soldiers, in the Hama countryside, Syria. Infighting among some insurgent groups in Syria is severely hampering an offensive that many activists had hoped would cut government supply lines to Aleppo and ease the pressure on that embattled northern city. Arabic reads, "Clashes between the Mujahideen and the Alawite army before liberating the check points." (The website of Fath al-Sham via AP)
